TALKING TO THE ANIMALS, USING AI





                                       Source:  Stock


  • Researchers can decipher noises, inaudible to human ears, through AI that show animals and plants can communicate
  • Here's what we know:
  1. AI can find, understand and translate animal sounds into a language
  2. AI builds shapes representing a certain animal's language; it then matches patterns to a known language and translates concepts
  • Some AI discoveries with animals:
  1. Elephants use a signal to warn their herd of approaching honeybees, which are very dangerous for them
  2. Mother dolphins give names to their children
  3. Whales are using clicking noises to communicate
  • Scientists are now working on developing AI robots that will speak to animals in their own language
  • Teams of international scientists have successfully trained AI to speak with bees, elephants and whales.

  • According to lead designer Mitja Borkert it "will look like a spaceship" - unique and futuristic in design
  • Will go into production in 2028
  • Technologies under development to enable vehicle to outperform other EVs on:
  1. Acceleration
  2. Handling
  3. Braking
  4. Responsiveness
  • Will share an electric powertrain from VW, Lamborghini's parent company
  • Lamborghini hasn't disclosed performance details yet, but the EV concept is expected to set new standards for power, performance and style and showcase the direction in which Lamborghini is headed.
